There is not way to modify scrollbars in Firefox 57+ yet.No add-on, WebExtension or userChrome.css/UserContent.css script can achieve this at the moment.

Mozilla plans to add support for scrollbar styling in the future.

That's the question.

You mean updated for Firefox 57+?

No, not possible, like mentioned on the main page.

My patience is growing thin. I cannot find so many useful addons on this new Firefox Quantum 58. Can you make an extension for Firefox Quantum which would hide the scrollbars in fullscreen, and show them if I move the mouse to the edge of the screen? This would give me more control over the scrollbars - they would hide automatically and appear when I want. Because, you know, even when you go Fullscreen, some photos are too big and you still need to scroll them, and you would need scroll bars even in Fullscreen. I was able to do this in the previous Firefox, but 57 killed many addons. Please.

I was using Pageshot (Firefox experimental feature) for some time to take full-page screenshots. Due to the vertical scroll, Pageshot produced a transparent vertical line on the image. With HideScrollbars, the line disappeared. Thanks a lot!

This extension is pretty good. It hides all scrollbars, but it is unnecessary when I see horizontal scrollbars. So could you hide only vertical and show only horizontal ones?

The add-on is meant to hide all scrollbars, but you can use "NewScrollbars" add-on instead. It allow to select which scrollbars you want do hide.

Also remember to refresh pages for the add-on to take effect without restarting.

Plus, remember to rise against corporations. Most of them are evil ~ >_< ~

android scrollbars are perfect. they only appear when you need them.I am looking for an addon capable of replicating that, for every scrollbar.This addon could be there if it showed the scrollbar on scroll events, and do so without affecting the rendering of the page (that is, show over the page without moving any element in it)

Firefox for Android and Firefox for desktop systems a very different.You may want to try my other "Scrollbars" add-on "NewScrollbars. It offers more customizable features for scrollbars incl. simulating scrollbars on top of webcontent. Its still not what you are asked for, but maybe better than just hiding scrollbars.

Does exactly what it says it does, with no fuss. Nice little addon.

The only request I would make would be an option to only hide vertical scrollbars - otherwise it's great.

I first thought it wasn't working in firefox 42 anymore but I now figured that it just needs a restart there. Might als be because of windows 10 64-bit.Anyways, don't mind the restart and love the addon

Would it be possible to add the opposite functionality to this extension, so that a user can force the scrollbars to always appear, whether they're needed or not? Some Web pages will change size while I'm attempting to scroll, causing the scrollbars to reposition themselves in the middle of my attempts to use them; permanent, immovable scrollbars would prevent this.

I have not found a way to force permanent scrollbar visibility and I do not know, if it is possible.

Even if it would be possible, such an opposite feature could confuse users and should be outsourced to another add-on in such a case.

Could you add the option to show the bar when you reach the right side of the page or the bottom?

Rated 4 out of 5

by Roxz, 3 years ago

Developer response

Thats not possible. Scrollbars are rendered/painted after the content is loaded. Once loading is finished and visible/invisible scrollbars are loaded, you can't change them or their appearance anymore, only after you reload the page.

This is also a very tiny option free add-on.

posted 3 years ago

Does exactly what it says, cleanly and without needing a restart.

However, it would be nice to have an option to keep the horizontal scroll bar, since my mouse only has a vertical scroll wheel.

Only improvement I can think of is to have a toggle or enable/disable button available on the main toolbar so the scroll bars can easily be enabled again if needed.
